SUMMER

Day 1:

Get your java on at the local coffee roaster, or one of the locally owned cafés. Take a break from the summer heat by driving down to enjoy the expansive views and beautiful waters of Kinbasket Lake. BC recreation sites available; first come first served. Looking to cool off? Enjoy a quick float on Little Cranberry Lake in Cedarside Park.

Day 2:

Bring the whole family to the Valemount Bike Park, a local treasure, for some gravity assisted laps, or a cross-country loop. Bike rentals available in town. Keep the adrenaline pumping with a white-water raft trip down the beautiful Fraser River or if calm is more your style, book a gentle scenic float.

Day 3:

Take the day off to meander the town. Visit the local museum, art gallery, and tantalize your taste buds at the many locally owned/operated restaurants.

Day 4:

Choose from one of Valemount’s many different hikes, including the famous Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Park, the tallest mountain in the Canadian Rockies; or Terry Fox Mountain, equipped with its own monument. Alternatively, hike-in or book a heli-drop to one of the Valley’s many beautiful backcountry cabins.

Day 5:

Spend a day exploring the back roads around the valley (4WD permitting) and try your hand at berry picking. Wild berries can be found all over the valley in the summer months, if you ask a local where to look. On Thursday evenings, shop local at the Valemount Farmers Market located just outside of the Visitor Centre. On Friday nights, enjoy live music and dinner at the Valemount Legion.
